Nobody is promoting a product. Simon is just sharing an experiment he attempted. No products being sold here.

Maybe not, but in the past some here see that the blog is the product that is being promoted here.

Even in this thread alone https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47314929 some commenters here are clearly annoyed with the way AI is being shoved in each place where they do not want it.

I don't care, but I can see why many here are getting tired of it.
